Details

Swindon Cross-Country Class 120 DMU's meet at Leyland on April 22nd 1986. On the left M53680 was bringing up the rear of a Blackpool North to Manchester Victoria service, whilst arriving on the right (complete with its slam-doors opening before it had stopped!) was M51575 with a Manchester Victoria to Blackpool South through service. This was the brief period when the large three-car BRCW Class 104 fleet based at Newton Heath had been sidelined, and due to the introduction of the new Class 150/1 Sprinter fleet at Derby Etches Park, the surplus well-worn but not quite life expired Class 120's were moved to pastures new at Newton Heath. The 120's would fade-away as deliveries of new Class 150/2 Sprinters began in earnest during 1987.
